Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo is a case from #LosAngeles about whether #ICE can stop people because of a suspicion of their being in the #US illegally, based solely, as #SCOTUS blog summarized, on any combination of 4 factors: a person’s “‘apparent #race or #ethnicity,’ speaking in #Spanish or accented English, being present at a #location where undocumented immigrants ‘are known to gather’ (such as pickup spots for day laborers), & working at specific #jobs, such as landscaping or construction.”

**Rise of the alt-White? Examining the prevalence of perceived racial and gender discrimination among White men from 2014 to 2023**

"_Taken together, these results suggest that we identified two distinct ‘types’ of White men who feel discriminated against: (a) an economically disadvantaged group seeking to explain their disadvantage (the Disenfranchised) and (b) a more privileged group threatened by recent social progress for structurally disadvantaged groups (the Radicalized)._"

In a memo to #Congress, #DOJ said it agrees with a lawsuit attempting to strike down #grants that are reserved for #colleges & #universities where at least ¼ of undergraduates are #Hispanic or #Latino. Congress created the program in 1998 after finding Latino students were going to college & graduating at far lower rates than #white students.

DOJ ofcls argued the program provides an #unconstitutional advantage based on #race or #ethnicity.

New guidance for #U police on releasing suspects’ #ethnicity #migration status @theguardian

The policy is designed to work on two fronts, the government wants to stop the rise of the #farright & their ability to organise through #misinformation fomenting #publicdisorder by spreading #untruths about suspects
Secondly, it sends a signal to potential Reform UK voters that the government is taking the issue of people committing crimes while applying for asylum seriously

🇺🇸 **Is multiculturalism as American as apple pie? A survey of attitudes toward ethnic and religious diversity in the United States**

"_We find that two-thirds of our respondents want a more ethnically/racially diverse United States than the current demographics and over half of respondents want a population that is more religiously diverse than the status quo in 2020. Only a tiny percent idealizes a country that is ethnically or religiously homogeneous._"

theguardian.com/education/2025. NO! The #IHRA definition equates #antiZionism with #antisemitism, & that is completely unacceptable. It makes quite a lot of #Jews #antisemites! What we now call #Israel is the product of #British #colonialism - the Balfour Declaration of 1917 - so support for a "Jewish homeland" in #Palestine is not a requirement for opposition to antisemitism. Israel is an #apartheid State, where #citizenship is defined by #ethnicity & #religion.

"The racial and ethnic groups people identify with may not accurately represent their genetic backgrounds or ancestries, a new study of people in the United States suggests.

This discrepancy between people's self-reported identities and their genetics is important for scientists to acknowledge as they strive to develop medical treatments tailored to different patients, the researchers behind the study say.

'This paper is very important because it clarifies at the highest resolution the relationship between genomic diversity and racial/ethnic categories in the US,' said study co-author Eduardo Tarazona-Santos, a professor of human population genetics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil.

The findings are 'critical to develop appropriate precision medicine solutions for all,' he told Live Science in an email. Precision medicine tailors treatments to individual patients, taking their genes, environment and lifestyle factors into account."
